A really lovely house, well equipped with all mod cons. It feels like a home not a holiday rental, and is a great place to kick back and relax - whether lounging in a deckchair in the shady garden, or the fabulous conservatory dining room, or in the cosy sitting room. The place is so laid back, we never even got around to checking out the huge tv upstairs...

Marta, who looks after the house is very friendly and helpful, as were the other villagers we met during our stay. Szirak is a nice village and there are good walks to be had all around - be sure to walk up through the churchyard and check out the stunning view from the lavender field at the back.

You're half an hour from Holloko (UNESCO historic village) or Gyongos (gateway to the Matra Hills), and a hour's train journey to Budapest, probably a lot quicker by car...).

The nicest place we've ever stayed to be honest. Shame it's so far to drive to from the UK, or we'd be there every month!

We stayed 3 days in this amazing house and since the first day we were planning when we will return.

The house and garden are truly enchanting: they have the charm of an authentic country house with all possible comfort. The house is big and includes many rooms and places to lounge or have a coffee (also in the garden). Every detail is nicely arranged and really charming.

From Vienna it took us only 3,5 hours to come. It is also very close to Budapest. It is a dream place for relaxing in the nature (beautiful park also nearby). The house can easily welcome a family (like us) or a group of friends and I can imagine it would be a very romantic place for a couple.

The Golden Linden House rightly deserves the title of the best holiday home I've ever stayed at.Superbly designed yet cozy, specious and full of light, this holiday home is ideal for hedonists seeking the simple pleasures of life-breakfast under the lush linden tree, reading in the afternoon (and perhaps a nap?) on the terrace overlooking the hills, glass of wine on the patio at dusk, barbecue in the back garden in the evening. If you need to stretch your legs, take a stroll to the castle nearby. There are plenty of rainy day options too--you can grab a book or watch TV in the specious TV room/library, or you can find your quiet hideaway in the alcove and doze off.

This house is ideal for a party of 4-5 people who want to spend time together, but also need their privacy. My partner and I stayed with another couple for a week in the summer 2010 and enjoyed immensely every moment of it. We will definitively return this summer!

Owner's Response:

I'm glad you liked the Golden Linden House last year. Now it's even better. I've invested a lot in 2011 to make it the best and most "private" Holiday-home in Hungary. Check it out. You are welcome any time.

my husband and I stayed here the week before christmas and it was wonderful. the house is comfortable, tastefully furnished and has all the amenities that one could want to relax in luxury. I can't wait to go back.

Idylisch, ruhig, pittoresk und ein bisschen verwunschen.

Location

Nógrád County, Hungary

The Golden Linden Country House is located in Szirák, a small village in Nógrád county, Northern Hungary, at the foot of Cserhát Mountains. The village is an hour's drive northeast of Budapest. The proximity of Budapest as well as the vineyards of the region make the stay in Szirák particularly attractive. The mildly hilly area is ideal for walking, cycling and horseback riding. Less experienced riders can get a horse for few hours or a day from the stable in the village. More advanced riders might opt for a exquisite riding experience at a famous breeding farm nearby. For those who prefer less active holiday there’s a lot to discover in the vicinity: the Village Museum in Hollókö, Bánk with its lake and the thermal baths in Eger. You shouldn’t miss the excellent wines from Eger and the Matra Mountains. The Matra Mountains region is very well developed tourist area – although you’ll probably enjoy the Golden Linden Country House so much that you might not want to leave the garden.
